LLM leaderboard

Compare AI models across public benchmarks. Source-balanced consensus for overall performance, coding, reasoning and agentic work.

Looking for which LLM is best? UnifyBench is a first stop: source-balanced consensus across many published benchmarks (not one board). Shortlist here, then validate on Artificial Analysis, check Arena for preference, and finish with task-specific evals.

This month: three boards to compare

Which LLM is best in October 2026?

The dated checks below show different measures of performance: GPT-6 Astra · XHigh leads UnifyBench; Claude Opus 5.5 (Max, Default Fallback) leads Artificial Analysis; Gemini 4 Argon · High is Arena's last known leader. Shortlist with UnifyBench, check Artificial Analysis for independent scores and cost per task, check Arena for preferences, then test your own tasks.

The Intelligence Index, Arena Elo, and UnifyBench score use different scales and cannot be compared directly. UnifyBench balances many published benchmarks rather than blending a few board ranks. Why leaderboards disagree.

Each model is counted once across effort levels. Configurations count documented model + effort settings, including unranked.

Original reports and benchmark leaderboards. Distinct source pages with published results in the catalog. Multiple results and page sections count as one source.

One entry per model, using its highest-scoring eligible effort setting. How effort ranking works.

Catalog dated 22 Oct 2026. Effort evidence collected 18 Oct 2026. Collection dates are not evaluation dates.

What does the score mean?

The adjusted comparison score estimates performance against the same reference panel from matched published comparisons. Capability pools matched comparisons across families and checks aggregate breadth and independent source coverage. Custom profiles require support in every selected capability. Missing results never count as losses.

Family details show observed win shares against available reference peers. Those descriptive values are supporting evidence, not adjusted capability scores. Provider reports and independent results remain labeled. Matching reported settings do not establish equal inference effort, and score differences do not establish statistical significance.
